She birthed you, taught you valuable life lessons and watched you grow with love and attention …
Today is Mother’s day and we celebrate the wonderful person that is Mom!
Still searching for a great gift or outing idea? Gen’s Delights got you covered:
New York – Hollywood
These two cities definitely evoke vivid imagery of talent, creativity and extravagance. When Hollywood produces a musical comedy, New York adapts it for the stage. When New York gives us a musical show, Hollywood releases a movie.
Treat mom to a night of star treatment at the Cabaret du Casino with the latest Musical Revue: New York – Hollywood.
With 14 spectacular acts featuring singers (Nancy Fortin, Martin Lacasse, Yanick Lanthier & Marianne Mathieu), five live musicians and numerous talented and very sensual dancers on the stage, the New-York – Hollywood show will amaze mom with its show stopping numbers and memorable show tunes taken from beloved musicals and films such as Ghost, Sister Act, The Bodyguard, Mamma Mia!, Motown, and many more!
Expect a room full of energy as audience members eagerly stand up and dance to the catchy medley from The Buddy Holly Story, or stare in wonder at the aerial exploits of the dancers in Unchained Melody.
Just add a delicious 3 courses dinner package to your show and you will have mom singing right along to Nancy Fortin’s powerful rendition of Whitney’s iconic song “I Will Always Love You” .
You bet she will definitely love you too!
